What the spread means

The +15.7% median spread between the medium and jumbo is the secondary market's read on the marginal cost of going one size up. Boutique retail typically prices the step at 10–20%; if the secondary spread is tighter, the market is discounting the size step relative to retail.

Which is the more liquid configuration

On 90-day sample size the medium is the more liquid configuration (195 observations vs 167 for the jumbo). Liquidity bears on bid-ask: deeper sample means tighter spreads around the median and shorter time-to-clear for a typical listing.

Verdict

The two sizes track close enough on liquidity, premium-to-retail, and historical compounding that the choice reverts to use-case fit rather than data-driven preference.

For full deep-dives on each variant: medium · jumbo.

Methodology

Part of the Bagonomics daily editorial rotation — a 14-day cycle of daily research pieces. Each day's slot is selected from the rotation by day-of-year so the same calendar date always lands on the same topic. Data is frozen at publication; live numbers are visible on the linked entity pages. All numbers reflect the latest 90-day aggregation for each variant individually. CAGR uses anchor-aligned aggregations with a ±180-day window; missing anchors mean a blank cell rather than a stale comparison. Premium-to-retail uses the latest US boutique price.
